Emma just received a message telling her that she passed an important exam she thought she had failed. She jumps for joy, smiles widely, and wants to tell everyone.
Why test your emotion recognition?
Correctly identifying what others feel is a key skill in everyday life. It plays a role in communication, family relationships, teamwork, and decision-making. This emotion recognition test allows you to explore your ability to decode simple emotional situations.
What this test evaluates
Emotional Perception
Your ability to spot emotional cues in a scene or narrative.
Understanding Emotions
Your ability to put a precise word on what a person feels.
Cognitive Empathy
Your ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes, even without experiencing the situation yourself.
Emotional Nuances
The distinction between closely related emotions, such as anger, frustration, or disappointment.
How to interpret your score?
High Score (80 to 100): you identify emotions very well in the proposed situations. This can help you in your personal and professional relationships.
Intermediate Score (50 to 79): you decode most emotions, but some nuances may escape you. A bit of practice and feedback on cues (words, gestures, context) can refine your perception.
Lower Score (< 50): it is sometimes difficult for you to know what the other person feels. This is a skill that can be developed, especially through role-playing, games, and open exchanges.
And after the test?
This test is not intended to provide a diagnosis. It is a starting point to better understand how you read emotions. You can continue reflecting by observing facial expressions, tone of voice, and context, or by using playful tools to work on emotional intelligence with children, adults, or seniors.
